B&H is offering a pretty darn good deal on the Canon 70D, one of my favorite DSLRs for shooting video due to the awesome Dual Pixel sensor. Right now it, a lens, a battery pack, a bag, a memory card and a printer is down to $1,154 after a $400 mail-in rebate. Not too shabby for a darn fine APS-C camera. Plus the flip out screen is super helpful. [via B&H]

Thats a pretty good deal considering the lens is about $500 and the printer $400. I've bought several canon cameras in bundles like this then sold the stuff I didn't need to offset the cost. You could easily end up paying $500 for the 70D body after the dust settles.
On a related note... can they put that Dual-Pixel AF sensor into a 6D MK II so I can finally have a full frame camera under $2k that can focus reliably?
That's for sure going to happen. Based on how Canon rolls out new features, they test them in the consumer bodies before moving up. It's already in the C100.
I just want a flip out screen on a "pro" body. The hesitancy to put it on them because it appears "amateur" is preposterous. That screen is the most useful thing on the camera outside of that sensor.
So true. I went from 60D to 6D and miss the flip out screen. Tempted to buy the 70D as a second camera but already have the M. Holding out for a new M and a new 6D.
Probably a hint that new gear is on it's way.
